The Konditorei und Bäckerei Göbecke has been around since 1912. Over 100 years and two world wars later, you can still get the best raisin buns in town at the family business.

From the oven

Country bread, sunflower seed bread, walnut bread, onion bread, malt bread, feta olive bread and much more. The bread range at the Göbecke bakery is not only always freshly home-baked, but also very varied. For those with a sweet tooth, sweet pastries and cakes await behind the counter. The family business makes special occasions even better with its cake creations. Whether you prefer a chocolate or fruit filling for your wedding or birthday cake, the pastry chefs will put together the cake of your dreams. But the baked goods also taste great in everyday life. In the in-house bistro, you can enjoy a variety of sandwiches and baguettes from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the cozy seating area. During your lunch break, you can enjoy various casseroles and gratins, homemade salads and meat products. And for dessert? Of course, a raisin roll.

The Göbecke bakery is not the only place that still produces delicacies like they used to. Ice cream from the original GDR ice cream machine is available at Eisdiele Pfeifer.

Craftsmanship like back then

Defrosting pre-produced frozen goods? Unthinkable at the Göbecke bakery! Here too, the family business relies on tradition and remains true to its artisan roots. There would have been plenty of opportunities to increase production volumes and sales opportunities. However, the baked goods are still only produced and sold by hand directly at the production site itself. The master bakers bake fresh baked goods on demand at all opening times. Without long transportation routes, raisin rolls and co. end up directly in your shopping bag shortly after completion. Still warm! At the Göbecke bakery, you get high-quality baked goods that you won't find in most large and chain bakeries.

Long family tradition

Over 100 years ago, master baker Hugo Köhler and his wife Emma took freshly baked bread out of the oven of the bakery in Mittelstraße (now Hans-Poeche-Straße) for the first time. The delicious baked goods were also popular with many restaurants such as Auerbachs Keller, hotels, the Kristallpalast and the train station thanks to their central location between the train station, Kristallpalast and the Lagerhof transshipment point. In 1937, daughter Charlotte and her husband Kurt Göbecke took over the running of the bakery. Despite all the turmoil of war and production facilities partially destroyed by bombing raids, the ovens in the Göbecke bakery continued to run. Even in the years that followed, the mixing spoon never left the family's hands. Since 1971, Peter and Sabine Göbecke have been in the bakery. The couple expanded and modernized the business and finally passed it on to their two children Christine and Matthias in 2004.<br
